Still occupied, then.

T H R E A D !!

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

The illegal federal occupation of Minneapolis is still very much in effect.

Minneapolis is still under absolute siege.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks

"Doctors can be wrong, too!" Yes, and you can have a meaningful conversation with them that isn't just autocomplete. Yes, and you can, in extremis, sue them for malpractice.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Just an extraordinary performance for Democrats tonight in the Louisiana special election — winning a Trump +13 seat with a 38-point overperformance. This is how a wave starts, folks.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

If you're feeling helpless and don't know what to do: Look for people out there who are already helping. I promise they're out there. And then ask how you can help and do it. You're not alone. Community is out there and it's the way forward. ❤️👊

These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa (You can get free community safety whistles, quantity 100 to 1000, from here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles )

three wonderful new poems Rachel Becker poems today! from "In Each Day, There Are Three Days": "At the end of the second day in the day I squeeze in a workout to make sure my heart beats 170 times per minute for long enough to keep it from breaking..." https://www.havehashad.com/enm8z

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Good Afternoon! Fiction and poetry submissions will reopen next week following our special issue, starting Sunday. Check out our website, linked in bio, for further details.

Seminar: The History of Boston U.S. Latino Poetry and Social Issues Novel into Film Desktop Publishing Voice & Articulation (maybe gives away where I went to college)

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

“Yes, it’s expanding the surveillance state, and yes, it’s destroying the education system, and yes, it’s being trained on copyrighted work without permission, and yes, it’s being used to create lethal autonomous weapons systems…but…I forget my point, but ultimately, I think you should embrace it.”

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

The regime will lie. That's what fascist regimes do. It will continue to murder people in different ways. That's also what fascist regimes do. Regular people will continue to refuse and to not cooperate and to fight back in all of the ways we can.

In the last 5 years US citizens murdered by illegal immigrants: 9 US citizens murdered by ICE: 35

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Our country was founded on genocide & slavery.

Wanted to see if they had anything to say, but even online the NRA are cowards.

NRA:

Why would you believe people who tell you that the US can't shut down institutions at the drop of a hat when you are currently witnessing this administration do it in real time?

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Same people who whinge endlessly about how the removal of confederate monuments “erases history” have no problem erasing actual history

An anonymous someone turned this thread and the incredibly helpful replies into a sick comic!

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

I will admit the high price of groceries is really hitting me right now because I’M BUYING GROCERIES TO DELIVER TO MY NEIGHBORS WHO CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HAS SENT AN OCCUPYING FORCE OF FUCKSTICKS TO MY CITY.
